Speech of HH Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji on Mahalakshmi Jayanthi – March 7, 2015 – SDVT Mysore
That APPAJI came here today is our great fortune. Yesterday 30 episodes He recorded non-stop, working for several hours without a break. He set a record. Since a week this marathon recording session is going on. On Mahalakshmi Jayanti He took a break and has come to bless us all. 108 married women have assembled here to participate in this Vrata. Devotion alone will save us. It is the easiest path. Chanting God’s names is most important. 130 crore times chanting of Hanuman Chalisa Maha Yajna is in progress now. Send in your count daily by doing a minimum of 40 repetitions. Send count of individual or group chanting, with photo, names, date, and location to sgshanumanchalisa@gmail.com.
Many Datta devotees have now changed their daily routine. No more television viewing, no cinemas, no snacking time. For World Peace everyone has joined in this Yajna. Major lifestyle change has occurred. Many are getting up at 4 in the morning instead of at 10 O’Clock to find the time to complete their chanting of Hanuman Chalisa.
To explain the original Bhagavatam is a great test even for scholars. To explain the meaning of a single verse in the Bhagavatam, it takes two hours. Swamiji is explaining in a simple language giving the deep meaning contained in the holy scripture.
